Both good answers.
As for Elvis, well I have a similar example. I was born in 1990. But by the time I knew something about the world and about history, the Berlin Wall and the Cold War already felt like ancient events to me. Even though the Cold War only officially ended in 1991. But by 1998 or 1999, it all felt so ancient to me.
As for videogames, the NES was discontinued in 1993 I think. I remember it already being an old console by 1995 when I first played it. I mean, next to the SNES and the Mega Drive I could very well tell it was older.
